Wasted Hours

So many hours are spent in
Pursuing our earthly desires
Without asking what God’s plans are
Or what, from us, He requires

We struggle so hard to fill
The emptiness and the boredom
We look unto earthly pleasures
To fill the void within

But so much time is wasted
In things that have no worth
Things that seem to take the place
Of what we know should be first


Like our relationship with God
And our faith in Jesus Christ
For He’s the only one to fulfil
The emptiness we have inside

Our hope of eternal glory
With Jesus Christ our Lord
This should be our only focus
For nothing in life is worth more

You are an artist with words
A musician with rhythm
A singer of melodies
That have a heavenly tone

When I enter this waterfall
Of poems
I do feel
The world is complicated

Yet Gods love is what we need

Thank you for bringing

This flow of poems to

Give us this experience.

He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. This is why I speak to them in parables:

"Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
" `You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

For this people's heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.'

But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.[Matthew 13:11-17]

Yes and He does this through the ministry of the Holy Spirit whom He, Jesus, promised to send our away many years ago when He ascended into heaven.

John 14:16 - And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever

John 14:26 - But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

John 16:7 - But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
